re: Whats your body fat %?

BF Estimate? 10-12% 52 y/o, 185 lbs, 6' 3"

Here's where it gets really interesting. At 185, I have about 20lbs of body fat on me.

Since 1 lb of body fat contains 3500 calories, I'm carrying around approximately 70,000 calories of surplus energy. That's enough to run or cycle a very long way without taking on additional calories.

Calculate your own surplus calories. Still think you need a snack? Think you can't miss a meal or two?

Intermittent fasting can reduce your body fat without changing your diet. It's a superpower. Combine it with a low or zero carb diet, strength training and high intensity interval training, and you become a super version of your self.

How the hell do I know?

I mean wtf are you even talking about here. It isn't like if you were to workout and burn 70k calories you would all of a sudden have 0% bf. That's not how any of this works

I'm bulking right now so probably close to 20%.

Will start my summer cut in March and should get down around 9 or 10%.

Can't cut without a bulk bro.

7

More than it used to be

89

In between 3 and 4 %

there are 2 kinds of people in this world

those who don't know their body fat %

and those who lie about their body fat %
